Tested materials, prepared for any corner of the earth

In combination with spray application of powder coating, it is the best anti-corrosion protection with much higher resistance in comparison to only zinc coated or only powder coated surfaces. The surveys revealed that the spontaneous beginning of corrosion on steel treated with zinc and powder coating is actually not possible. As a final surface treatment we use matt structure powder coating, available in various shades of the RAL chart.

The connecting material is made of stainless steel as well. As a standard, AISI 304 is used, however for location with higher requirements AISI 316 is recommended. Its specific chemical composition ensures that so called passive layer is created onto the surface which protects the surface from corrosion. The stainless steel resists atmospheric corrosion in industrial air, outlet water and various salts. The surface is treated by shot peening, brushing or it is polished and therefore, the products gain distinctive and high-end look, great durability at minimal maintenance.

The main advantage is their high resistance against corrosion without the need of any other surface treatment. Due to the fact that any other surface layer is not applied, the mechanical resistance of the product is much higher. Based on the used technology, the aluminium surface is treated only by sanding which forms the characteristic matt look and protects the surface from the corrosion. The products made of aluminium alloy are protected by anodising. Thanks to this process, the common aluminium colour is preserved. If requested, the powder coating can be applied as well. 

It is mainly used where there is a need to reduce weight, remove internal steel reinforcement or achieve higher concrete durability in aggressive environments. The service life is realistically predicted to be up to 200 years, and together with the reduction in volume and weight, it has a positive effect on environmental sustainability – less demand on the substrate or foundations under concrete furniture, lower costs for transport and handling of large concrete castings.

This is made of a fine mixture of aggregate, cement, microsilica, water and other ingredients. Unlike traditional concretes, high strength mixes contain polymer fibres to increase flexural and compressive strength. Other advantages of these mixes include excellent flowability, minimal segregation, increased durability, smooth surfaces with no or minimal small bubbles, and partial flexibility. The high strength concrete mix we use achieves a compressive strength of 100Mpa according to laboratory tests.

Neither vibration nor compaction is necessary during the production which improves working environment thanks to positive effect on health and safety at work. SCC was developed in Japan at the end of 80´s last century. In Europe the concrete established itself thanks to international project, financed by European Union, during 1997–2000. mmcité uses mixture with comprehensive strength of 80MPa pressure for our concrete cast bench. Backrests of SATELLITE benches are made of SCC. Standard colours are white or light grey.

It is flexible and solid, pleasant to touch and it also ages in its specific way. If wood is used for the production of street furniture, it has to meet the highest demands. All kinds of wood which are used are carefully chosen as well as the proper surface treatments. The best possible type of wood is either tropical oiled wood or tropical natural wood. mmcité uses wood coming from legal harvesting, with FSC certification upon request. As a European alternative, we offer robinia and thermally modified wood, both oiled or in a natural state.

Even though it aesthetically resembles the wood, it misses the main disadvantages of wood. Resysta requires minimal care, is resistant to vermin and fungus. Thanks to its special composition, the surface stays free from cracks and splinters. In contrast to other composite materials, it looks great and it has a smooth surface. Resysta already meets most of the future environmentally sustainable material requirements; it is recycled and fully recyclable. For the current range of Resysta family the prefabricated extruded profiles are used; these can be reinforced using steel profiles inside.

The top oak layer is impregnated with oil to preserve the natural look of the wood and is available in several variations. Birch multiplex plywood is a waterproof plywood composed of many layers and veneers that are bonded together with glue. The plywood is coated with an oil impregnating primer and a thin-film stain with an oil additive for maximum protection.

It is hard to scratch the glass, it is easily maintained, cannot be damaged with a cigarette and it almost does not age. Concern of fragility is unjustified – glass panels can be broken only by using a tool or an extreme power. Rear and side walls are made of laminated or tempered safety glass (limiting the risk of injury when broken), roof is made of safety glass.

The plugs are supplied with shiny surface in white, light grey, dark grey and black colours or with mat surface in light grey and black colour. Round Citépin plastic plugs are used for perforated steel seat of Sinus and Radium benches.

The boards are available in wide range of colours and motives and the application of individual motif is possible as well. The material is resistant to mechanical damage, frost, heat, humidity and water vapours and it does not corrode. It is widely used material in architecture due to its great properties.

In addition, they naturally cool the space under the shelter and provide a natural habitat for small animals, thus contributing to the greening of the urban living environment.

These cells are encapsulated in plastic film to protect them from external factors. The glass panels are made of tempered glass. The combination of the photovoltaic cells, the foil encapsulation and the tempered glass creates a toughened bonded safety glass with photovoltaic cells inside.

Inner layer is formed by isolating core of foam. Thanks to a possibility to paint panels and structure, the colours can match and aesthetically pleasing solution can be achieved. The panels are connected to roof steel structure using self-taping screws with sealing washers. The assembly is simple and lasts a short time.

EPDM does not transmit air or water. It is resistant to weather temperatures in the range from -40°C to +100°C without the change of physical, mechanical and chemical properties. For a short term, it resists temperatures up to +130°C however the early aging and change of properties have to be taken into account EPDM is produced at the hardness level of 70±5° ShA. The surface of sealing is smooth and black.
EPDM profiles and boards are suitable as sealing of constructional and structural elements thanks to the mechanical, physical and chemical properties and possible permanent deformation, used in various industry fields such as sealing for automotive industry. Lifespan of rubber profiles and boards is 50 years in common Middle-European climate conditions.

The inside of seat cushions is filled with Dryfeel exterior foam, which absorbs less humidity and thanks to its extremely porous cellular structure dries much faster than regular foam fillers. The seat is covered with a water-resistant exterior fabric that is pleasant in contact and provides high seating comfort. The fabric is resistant to ordinary soiling, it is washable and cleanable with a bleach solution.
